Abstract: An electrical component comprises a main body, a fulcrum portion and at least two terminals including a first terminal and a second terminal. Each of the terminals has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with a circuit board when the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as a fulcrum, under an insertion state where the terminals are inserted into through-holes, respectively, while none of the terminals are soldered thereto. When the main body is tilted relative to the circuit board with the fulcrum portion, which acts as the fulcrum, under the insertion state, the second portion of one of the first terminal and the second terminal is brought into contact with the circuit board to regulate an excessive tilt of the main body.

Abstract: A low insertion force contact terminal which has a conductor mating portion, a securing portion and a substrate mating portion. The conductor mating portion is configured to terminate a conductor therein. The securing portion is configured to secure the terminal in a terminal receiving cavity of a housing. The substrate mating portion extends from the securing portion. The substrate mating portion has at least two sections which have curved portions thereon. The at least two sections move independently, which allows the curved portions to exert a normal force on walls of through holes of a substrate to which the contact terminal is mated which is sufficient to provide a stable electrical connection while allowing for a low insertion force.

Abstract: A battery lockout device is provided. The battery lockout device may include a safety plug body adapted to engage a power port of the battery. The battery lockout device may further include a rotating member operatively connected to the safety plug body, the rotating member engaging a battery lip or battery lip housing. The rotating member, in a first rotated position, can be locked in the first rotated position preventing access to the power port of the battery and preventing removal of the safety body plug from the battery. To effectuate locking the rotating member in the first rotated position, a keyed lock can be used to maintain the first rotated position of the rotating member relative to the safety plug body and the battery/battery housing lip. In this way, no energy from the battery may be discharged until removal/disengagement of the battery lockout device.
